Core 2 e6600 with msi p965 overclock. I can only oc my e6600 to 353 fsb. Any higher, and windows bsod s. The computer will actually boot at 3.7 ghz, which is more than 400fsb, i believe. What can be the problem? I have read that my mobo does not have the bios strap to any thing over 350mhz fsb.
Here are my specs:
PSU: Antec neo 500w
GPU: EVGA 8800gts 640mb
CPU: Core 2 e6600
RAM: 2GB CORSAIR XMS2 CAS LATENCY 4-4-4-12 pc6400
Motherboard: MSI P965 PLATINUM
Cooling: Titan Nikita water Cooling
HD: 2 western digital caviar 250gb raid0, 1 western digital caviar 500gb
CD drives: 2 LITE ON DVD burners
If i had to guess,I'd say the PSU.
500W is extremely low for using a 8800GTX let alone OCing that much..3 HDs and 2 CD drives don't help in that front either.
I have ruled out the processor as a problem (i swapped in another one).
I lowered my ram frequency ratio so that my ram is not overclocked. It runs at 740 mhz versus the 800mhz it is supposed to run(pc6400). The only thing that I think can hold me back is the power supply or the mobo. I have heard some bad reviews fro my specific mob on the forums. CPU runs at 31c idle, 47 under load. According to CPUZ, processor runs at 1.128 vcore. I tried upping the voltage for some stability, but no luck. Any suggestions?
